“Do you think that we can’t do anything to you guys now that we’re outnumbered?!
People always have to plan for the future!
I’m a vindictive person with a good memory! I’ll remember all of you who came today! In the future, there will be times when some of you become alone or fall ill!”
Lin Suisui looked up and smiled at the crowd in front of her.
She was very satisfied to see that many of them had the intention to retreat, so she didn’t mind giving them another warning at this moment. “Do you want me to help you in the future, or do you want me to kick you when you’re down?!”
Lin Suisui rarely sounded so stern.
This last threat made many people in the crowd suddenly remember that during a crisis back then, Madam Liu had ruthlessly stabbed someone with a hairpin without even batting an eye.
If she really took revenge because of today’s incident, then…
Many people who weren’t that determined to begin with finally came to their senses from the excitement of being able to get a share of the pie. They smiled awkwardly and left in a hurry.
At least half of the crowd had dispersed!
Most of the remaining people didn’t dare to move forward anymore. Although most of them didn’t leave, they kept a safe distance from Mrs. He, who was at the front.
Seeing how they all seemed like fence sitters, Mrs. Luo, who was standing at the side, burst out laughing as she said mercilessly, “If I were you guys, I would retreat a little more. Otherwise, if a fight really breaks out later, blood will splash and dirty your clothes. That would be awful!”
“Madam Liu, aren’t your words a little too arrogant and vicious?! Everyone says that every man for himself! We’re just ordinary people who don’t want such a dangerous animal living beside us!
If you’re unwilling to give food to others, we won’t force you!
But you can’t continue to raise this tiger in this camp, right?!
What if someone dies?!”
Mrs. He’s sister-in-law was standing beside her. Others could turn around and leave, but not her!
The Zhu family had not split up yet, so the four brothers were still living under the same roof! If she didn’t help Mrs. He today, she would be blamed and scolded when she returned.
Besides, she didn’t think that Mrs. He was wrong!
No one would let go of an opportunity to reap benefits so easily! After all, Lin Suisui’s family had hunted two wild boars yesterday! Even if she only gave them a small portion this time, things would be much better for them in the next few days!
“I’m a buddhist, but I’m not a pushover!!
There’s no need to waste your breath here! Little White is still a cub. It’s not strong enough to hurt you all!
I explained this to your sister-in-law as soon as she came over yesterday!
Besides, am I very familiar with you guys?! Why should I give away what my husband hunted to save you guys?! Are you all that useless and shameless?!”
Lin Suisui knew what Zhu Huang was thinking.
All of this was just an excuse for them to take advantage of them!
When dealing with such people, she couldn’t be soft-hearted or compromise at all. Because if she relented even just a little, they would push their luck!
“I realized that no matter what, the area beside your family’s tent is always the most troublesome place in the refugee camp.”
Just as Zhu Huang was about to refute, a chuckle suddenly came from behind her.
Pei Qian walked over slowly with his hands behind his back. His tone sounded teasing, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes.
“Do I need your permission to ask Madam Liu to help take care of my beloved pet?!”
The news that Lin Suisui had a tiger had actually been delivered to Pei Qian by Qian He yesterday.
However, Pei Qian didn’t pay much attention to it at first. In his opinion, this was a simple matter! Madam Liu often went into the mountain to pick herbs, so she might have encountered a cub that had been abandoned on the mountain. Out of compassion, she brought it back to raise!
What was the big deal?!
Gu Erlang was very capable. Even if that tiger cub was difficult to raise, it wasn’t impossible for Gu Erlang to hunt enough game to feed it!
They didn’t eat or snatch other people’s food. Was there a need to be so aggressive and make such a big deal over a tiger cub?!
However, this matter blew up today!
After hearing Qian He’s report, Pei Qian was amused. He wanted to come over and watch the drama, which really exceeded his expectations.
“Mr. Pei, you’re being too reckless!
Although these refugees were a little too aggressive, their worries aren’t unreasonable!
Tigers eat people!
If this tiger really hurts someone, the consequences will not be something ordinary people can bear!”
Du Yuanyi had been following Pei Qian very closely these past few days. He was very clingy! There was quite a big commotion to begin with, and coupled with Pei Qian’s arrival, Du Yuanyi definitely wouldn’t let himself get left behind.
He had been insistent on causing trouble for Pei Qian recently.
During the past two days, the subordinates who were escorting the refugees north had also noticed that as long as it was Pei Qian’s suggestion, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, Du Yuanyi would definitely object!
Even though every time he objected, Pei Qian rejected him bluntly, Du Yuanyi was determined to go against him!
This time was no exception.
As soon as Pei Qian spoke, Du Yuanyi immediately refuted Pei Qian’s words.
“Do you mean that I’m an ordinary person?!” Pei Qian turned around and stared at Du Yuanyi with a faint smile.
“Of course, Mr. Pei is not an ordinary person. However, even if you’re a noble, as the saying goes, no one is above the law! As an important minister of the Imperial Court, you should naturally set an example and not ignore the country’s laws!
Although these refugees are commoners, they’re all citizens of the empire!
If you hurt the innocent because of your selfishness, I believe His Majesty will not let you off!”
Du Yuanyi smiled. Under Pei Qian’s oppressive gaze, he was still able to remain calm and composed. He didn’t give up any chance to win people’s hearts.
“Mr. Du, you’re wrong! Mr. Pei didn’t entrust Little White to me for personal reasons!” As Lin Suisui spoke, Lu Ze had already brought Little White out of the ox cart.
Lin Suisui squatted down slightly and raised her hand to rub Little White’s fluffy head. Then, she looked up at the shocked Du Yuanyi and explained with a bright smile, “This white tiger is a rare auspicious beast. Are you sure you want to burn it to death?!”
